The Old Boot Inn

A TRADITIONAL 18TH CENTURY ENGLISH PUB & RESTAURANT

The Old Boot Inn is situated in the Berkshire village of Stanford Dingley which was listed in the Domesday survey of 1086. The area is surrounded by stunning countryside and has much to offer if you’re a keen walker or are interested in local history.

Nestled in the stunning Berkshire countryside in the historic village of Stanford Dingley, The Old Boot Inn offers traditional British pub classics with a contemporary touch served alongside locally brewed British ales and a selection of fine wines. We use the freshest local ingredients to produce a varied menu catering for a wide range of tastes.

This beautifully 18th Century inn boasts roaring fires in Winter and a family-friendly garden with fabulous views appealing to families and walkers alike. Our latest Winter addition is our fabulous heated teepee restaurant in the garden (provided by Stunning Tents) which adheres to all the Government social distancing guidelines.

​We’re close to the M4 Junction 12 (Reading) and 13 (Newbury) so are very accessible for those escaping the city.

We have visited The old Boot a couple of times previously and been impressed. However, this time we were not as happy. On Special Requests, I had asked for a corner table away from passing traffic as we have a small dog so I was disappointed to be led to a table in the main thoroughfare. Fortunately, the table to my right was free but had it not been, it would have been very awkward. My husband and friend had the roast pork. While the meat was good, the accompanying sprouts were grey and pretty much inedible. My husband’s coffee was cold. Overall, we felt a bit let down particularly as we had taken friends. We will return as we are confident that this is just a one off!

Absolutely delicious! We were a table of 4 and we all tried a different curry -chicken, seafood and vegetarian and everyone was very happy. The staff were so friendly, excellent service! Great value for money too. We will definitely be back.
